Norton comes up trumps for the NMM
NATIONAL MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM has launched its summer raffle, and it has been backed by the resurgent Norton company.
Museum director James Hewing stated: “Thanks must go to Norton Motorcycles, who have been extremely generous in donating a brand-new Norton Commando as first prize for our Special Summer 2021 Norton Raffle. The Commando 961 Classic is a blend of Norton's iconic styling combined with modern components, cutting-edge engineering and expert craftsmanship. You now have the chance to win one hand-built Commando out of a limited series of 40, as well as two other exceptional Norton prizes in this amazing one-of-a-kind competition.”
The other prizes are a new/old stock 1993 Norton Commander Rotary 588cc which has never been run or registered, showing 12 push miles, and a Norton Motorcycles HQ VIP private tour around the new Norton Motorcycles HQ in Solihull, with lunch for four.
Norton Motorcycles Interim CEO John Russell said: “We are delighted to support the National Motorcycle Museum and help them raise the crucial funds needed to return to normal operations.
“Their heritage collection includes a very significant part of our history, from racing victory to wartime efforts, and it's important for the direction of Norton's future, too.”
The winner of the NMM winter raffle first prize of a new/old stock Triumph T140D was Ian Milford, of Perthshire.
